When you use BU wireless (or any BU network connection), your device should be set to use an automatic (dynamic) IP address — never use a static IP. This setting is usually already chosen on your Android device, but should you ever want to check it, here is the sequence of commands to use.

To make sure you are using Auto IP, go to:

Settings,

Wireless & Networks,

Wi-Fi Settings

Click the ‘Settings’ button

Choose Advanced Settings

And enable Auto IP

Configuring E-mail on your Android Device

These instructions might vary slightly across devices and versions, but are expected to be helpful to all users of the Android OS.

Before you begin, you will need to know whether your account is in the AD or AD2 domain. If you are unsure, please consult with your local computer support staff or submit a Help request. If you need to guess, try AD first.

Enter the Domain as either AD or AD2 (as described above). Your login name and password should automatically populate and the Exchange server address will be xmail.bu.edu. (Note: If you are unable to connect to xmail.bu.edu, manually configure the setting as ex-legacy.bu.edu instead.)

Check Use Secure Connection and Accept All SSL Certificates, then press Next.
